One world champion told another world champion in his retirement, ‘cricket will miss you’.

Stokes bid farewell to 15-year international cricket career. One of the best all-rounders in the world was former Englishman Taka. Yuvi says, ‘The World Cup final is an innings that everyone will remember. An innings of 135 not out at Headingley, which almost made the impossible possible. It was the first time you had the courage to talk openly about mental health. You lost your father at the best time of your career. But you turned around right.’

A captain who made his team believe that anything is possible. Whom cricket will always remember as one of the best.’
